I don't think people are hostile to cutting back drugs. I would be happy to hear how you are doing as you taper off. I myself have been tapering off parnate, though I go back and forth as my depression rears it's ugly head again. But, like you, I don't like the idea of spending my life on meds.
BTW, please don't switch to the alternative board. There are barely enough posters/posts to support this board and most alternatives (not all) are firmly in the realm of useful, or potentially useful meds. The fact that drug companies don't promote them and doctors don't prescribe them doesn't mean we should just cut off consideration of alternative treatments and relegate it to a separate board.
Also in the realm of alternatives (to pharmaceuticals) are various types of talk therapy which, in many cases, have as good or batter track record than drugs. I would like to see more discussion of this.
Yes, I know - go to psychology. But psychology is dormant. The action is all on this board.
